Fujitsu today announced the immediate release in Japan of its new ARROWS Tab Q582/F water-resistant tablet for enterprise users.

The new model is equipped with a wireless WAN that runs on the ultra-high-speed Xi (read "crossy") communications network.

The ARROWS Tab Q582/F, which comes equipped with an Intel Atom Z2760 processor and the Windows 8 Pro (32-bit) operating system, is a slim, water- and dust-resistant tablet running Windows 8. In addition, it runs on the ultra-high-speed Xi communications network to meets user needs in a variety of different types of work, such as mobile applications for workers outside of the office as well as use in demanding field conditions.

The new model is 9.9mm thin and weighs approximately 584g. It features an extended battery life of up to approximately 10.3 hours, and employs an IPS LCD display.

Receiving speeds of up to 75Mbps and transmitting speeds of up to 25Mbps are possible simply by inserting a docomo User Identity Module (UIM) card that is contracted for the Xi service into the UIM card slot. In addition, if users are outside the Xi service area but within the FOMA service area, they can still enjoy communications at receiving speeds of up to 14Mbps and transmitting speeds of up to 5.7Mbps.
